Looking for a small but unique HO scale model railroad track
plan? The Gateway Central XII offers riverport harbor switching and train
operation action, while still providing a complete
mainline loop for just running trains. This layout
features challenging to build kitbashed structures and may
be easily expanded.
 We'll add enhanced descriptions for each image soon.

Links to HO model buildings from our previous layout
This layout was constructed with Atlas Code 83
sectional track and two Walthers code 83 curved turnouts,
much like the 2003 HO model railroad layout. Compare this to the 2001 small model railroad layout
which was designed in Life-Like Power-Loc sectional
track. The wider selection of pieces available in the
Atlas track line allows greater flexibility in design.
Both train layouts are approximately 4'x6'.
